New Delhi:
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Tuesday said there was no need to
link the Allahabad High Court verdict on the Ayodhya dispute to
the Babri Masjid demolition in 1992.
"At this stage, it's a verdict of the high court and we respect
it. There is no need to link it to the Babri demolition, there is
a separate case about it," BJP spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman
said while reacting to the Congress' assessment that the Sep 30
ruling did not in any way condone the demolition of the masjid.
Congress spokesperson Janardhan Dwivedi earlier said it was
important to note that the Allahabad High Court decision,
favouring a temple at the site where the Babri Masid once stood,
"in no way condones the shameful and criminal act" of bringing
down the mosque in 1992.
"Perpetrators (of the mosque demolition) should be brought to
justice," the spokesperson said in his briefing about the Congress
Steering Committee meeting. The meeting was chaired by party
president Sonia Gandhi and attended by Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh, among others.
The Allahabad High Court divided the disputed site between two
Hindu litigants and the Sunni Wakf Board. It also said that the
Babri Masjid was built on the birthplace of Lord Ram.
